So with our club 8th edition comp coming up, I've committed to try and bring an army that no one else uses. This is likely to be a toss up between Wood elves or Beastmen. We have quite a harsh comp (I should know I wrote it...), but this has increased interest and numbers could top 20 for the first time in a number of years).
The Beastmen list I'm currently considering is a double doombull build. There's nothing particularly original about most of the list. I've slightly tweaked my preferred flying doombull build and given him the I10 sword.
I've also gone lore of beasts on the great bray shaman and shadow on the lvl1 (I normally run shadow on the GBS, Beasts on the lvl 1).
The main thing i'm not sure of is the 2nd doombull loadout. I like the sword, helm and uncanny senses combo. But as he only has a 3+ save, i'm tempted to drop the dawn stone and OTS in favour or the chalice of the dark rain.
I realise I could drop a doombull, add a Beastlord and then bump up the bestigors to horde size for the same size (and more reliability) but the point is to have a double doombull.
Anyways, thoughts as normal are appreciated .
